Patent CA-2546541-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ISNER MICHAEL
IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 2006-05-10
Abstract: Motion may be transferred between portions of two characters if those portions have a minimum topological similarity. The elements of the topology that are similar are referred to as basic elements. To transfer motion between the source and target characters, the motion associated with the basic elements of the source character is determined. This motion is retargetted to the basic elements of the target character. The retargetted motion is then attached to the basic elements of the target character. As a result, the animation of the basic elements in the topology of the target character effectively animates the target character with motion that is similar to that of the source character.

Title: Cluster database with remote data mirroring
Inventor: KEHOE WILLIAM F
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2005-01-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for mirroring data between a plurality of sites is provided. A replication relationship is established between the plurality of sites that include a first site and a second site. A first database server at the first site receives an indication that a write operation could not be successfully mirrored at the second site. In response to the indication, the first database server initiates a membership voting operation by communicating with a quorum device to determine whether the first database server or a second database server associated with the second site should be removed from the replication membership. If it is determined that the second database server associated with the second site should be removed from the replication membership, then the first database server sends a message to indicate that write operations are no longer to be replicated at the second site.

Patent CA-2554057-A1 (CA)
Title: Sensor for detecting air flow
Inventor: LIPP BRIAN A
IPC: A61M15/02
Filed: 2004-12-03
Abstract: An air flow sensor comprises a flexible resistive element permanently affixed to a flexible substrate. The air flow sensor is positioned in an inlet for airway to insure the inlet is cover at all times other than during the inhalation. When a vacuum is applied to the airway, a resulting drop in air pressure within the airway causes air to flow through the inlet and airway, causing the sensor~s substrate to flex. Flexure of the substrate also causes a resistive element to flex, resulting in a change in the electrical resistance of the resistive element, such as an increase in resistance. Flexure of the sensor is enhanced by flexible leads, which serve as a hinge point. An air shield may be positioned around the periphery of the air flow sensor to channel and restrict the movement of air flowing through the air inlet, thereby enhancing movement of the sensor.

IPC: A61K38/17
Filed: 2005-04-22
Abstract: The binding interactions between herstatin, or the intron 8-encoded receptor binding domain (RBD Int8) thereof, and several receptors were analyzed.  According to aspects of the present invention, herstatin and the intron 8-encoded domain bind with high affinity (e.g., nM concentrations) to all four of the ErbB receptors: EGFR (HER-1, erbB-1); HER-2 (erbB-2); HER-3 (erbB-3);  and HER-4 (erbB-4), as well as to .DELTA.EGFR and the IGF-1 receptor, and such binding has utility to modulate signaling mediated by these receptors.  Herstatin inhibited target receptor-mediated activation of intracellular signaling pathways ((e.g., PI3/Akt, IRS-2, etc., pathways) that are important in cell survival, and further inhibited target receptor-mediated (e.g., IGF-1/IGF-1R-mediated) survival of cancer cells. Aspects of the present invention thus provide methods and compositions for the treatment of cancer, including cancer refractory to other erbB-based agents, and of other conditions and disorders characterized by target receptor expression, over-expression, signaling, and/or aberrant signaling. Additional aspects provide methods of targeted drug delivery.

Filed: 2005-05-17
Abstract: A convective accelerometer capable of measuring linear or angular acceleration, velocity, or angle of inclination is provided. The accelerometer comprises sensing elements that are sensitive to convection located inside a sealed housing containing a liquid agent. Applied external acceleration causes forced convection of the liquid agent, which produces variations in an electric current produced by the sensing elements that are proportional to the applied acceleration or angle of inclination. The accelerometer has a small size, extremely wide frequency and dynamic ranges, high sensitivity, simple design and is suitable for mass production. The device has a wide range of application, such as stabilization and control systems, homeland security, and oil exploration.

Abstract: Plastic sticks for biting, swizzling and as an aid for meeting people socially.      The name of the product is called coolsticks or swizzlers. This product consists of a set or a package of short cylindrical plastic sticks approximately the length and diameter of a cigarette.   One use is for the pleasure of biting upon to relieve tension and boredom.  They can also be swizzled about in the mouth and used to convey a certain mood or look.     The sticks are made of assorted colours to match or contrast the persons' outfit. They are flavoured to taste; such as mint to freshen the breath.  Most importantly there are other special sticks that are colour coded. These are the dual coloured red sticks. One half is red with the other half another colour. The red colour is a signal to others, a sign, a willingness to be available for meeting people in a social setting. Show the red end or spin it around in your mouth to a neutral colour. They are especially helpful to singles.

Title: Temperature fuse protection device
Inventor: YU TSUNG-MOU
IPC: H01H85/143
Filed: 2006-11-24
Abstract: A temperature fuse protection device uses a hot melt metal to rivet for connecting two terminals in the circuit that are separated for making the two terminals electrically-connected and the circuit complete. There is a spacing in between the two free ends of the two terminals when no external force is being imposed.  When an electric overloading or high circuit temperature event occurs, the hot melt metal would be heated to melt and break, which would then make the free ends of the two terminals to be disconnected, and therefore, the circuit will be at "OFF"  status.

Title: Recombinant rsv strains with altered g protein
Inventor: HANCOCK GERALD E
IPC: C12N15/63
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: The construction of recombinant respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) strains deleted of the region of G protein most likely to induce unwanted type 2 T  cell responses in susceptible recipients is disclosed. Using reverse genetics, recombinant RSV strains were engineered with deletions of amino acids 151-221 and 178-219. Both RSV strains replicated in the respiratory tract of BALB/c mice and elicited serum neutralization and anti-F protein IgG titers that were equivalent to cp-RSV and contributed to a 3.9 log10 reduction in RSV A2 four days after challenge. Importantly, pulmonary eosinophilia was significantly diminished in BALB/c mice primed with native G protein and challenged with either recombinant RSV strain. These findings are important for the development of immunogenic compositions against RSV.
